I believe in tilt-shift photography but this HAS to be a model.

too much tire detail/blinker detail/rivets to be a model.

You can't get the kind of metallic gloss off a model like a real piece of machined steel.

Pfth, the 6-bolt motor is the only 4G63 to consider here. It doesn't crankwalk.

most 97s, 98-99 (with three piece thrust bearings) walk with the same frequency as six bolts, and the post DSM EVO blocks don't walk? :confused:

Nait Sirhc posted:

I wouldn't say 97-99 had the same frequency of crankwalking as 6-bolts. This is strictly going off of Tooners/DSMtalk posts back in 00-05, but there were a HELL of a lot of 2gb 7-bolts walking and swapping for 6-bolts. And how many 6-bolts walked? One out of every fifty thousand?

Forgot to include the pre-4B EVO motors.

I have never ever in my 12+ years have heard a '98+ walking, and I've heard a few 97s spinning bearings maybe a rare case of something weird, but nothing like the old 95/96s. 7 bolts get a bad rap because dsm "tooners" are idiots and everything is done with the old FSM.pdf and in some guy's garage. I have heard 6 bolts walking but you just don't notice it due to the fact that you don't have a crank sensor on the car.

Honestly, most tooners/talk poo poo is just that. Go look at the endplay spec of any old (150k+) six bolt and its probably wobbling around in there a bit.

A three piece thrust bearing 7 bolt is a better block than a 6 bolt... Hell, it's got a 1 piece main vs. the old 6 bolt 3 piece.

The EVO 4-9 7 bolt crank is the same exact thing as a Dsm 7 bolt crank. Evo 4s used to walk, but the 5-9 never had a problem because they were running the 3 piece thrust bearing by then.

I have a 6 bolt in my old car and a built 98 block in my newer car.

Technically, how? The only scooter feature that comes to mind that sort of fits is that one's feet go inside the frame (but one also straddles the frame, so it's a draw)
tire size? probably not a scooter
engine performance? not a scooter
handling? not a scooter
clutch? I don't know. Maybe the Akira 'bike has a CVT?

They've made some pretty fast scooters (electric even!) and judging by the wheel base, it certainly isn't going to be showing up on moto GP bikes any time soon for handling.

This has big tires, big engine and good handling and a clutch and it's scooter. All it needs is a step through frame, which the akira bike has to be considered a scooter.

It was kind of a bummer seeing some of those art cars didn't have any running gear in them at all. That E36 was one example, you get up close and you can see it's just empty in the engine bay.

They probably used them in other cars at some point down the road. It's not like they're ever going to drive them again.

If I'm stripping out the interior, putting a cage in, towing it every event, I'm going to actually race other cars (as open as that could be depending on classifications), rather than engineer a car to death so I can be cool on the internet.

And yes, a good number of dudes who do Time Attacku are too afraid of driving in traffic.

I do Time Trials with my Eclipse, but only because I can't store a F150 and a trailer and the car all at once. It's kind of a big commitment for someone who lives in the city.

The entry lists I see show a bunch of V8Supercar, rally, club circuit etc on the list. Almost all of the non wheel to wheel guys are in road cars. And even then there's a bunch of them who on other weekends switch to a different car and go grid up.

There's a hell of a lot of BS floating around about who's involved and why - mainly because a bunch of people want to look down on it as silly or not as MANLY or some piece of utter crap.
